They are making money though. The government doesn't make money for the government. It's not like a corporation. The government makes money for the country. Saving existing institutions from collapse during a disaster tends to be a very good investment for that.
- drtillberg 6y agoWhen the Fed creates $xxx billion it "makes" money. The real question is whether the Fed bought something worthwhile. The fact that a market coalesced around the asset isn't that significant because the Fed can't withdraw from the market now without watching prices for the asset collapse.
